Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Newcastle upon Tyne properties
Our Tyne and Wear coverage takes in Newcastle upon Tyne (NE1) and nearby Gateshead, Wallsend and Hebburn. Newcastle upon Tyne is one of the main towns we cover in Tyne and Wear.
Most Newcastle upon Tyne houses built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but the survey still checks each one: cavity width, debris, the condition of the brickwork and how exposed each wall is. A suitable wall in Newcastle upon Tyne is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Tyne and Wear has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
As for paperwork, in Newcastle upon Tyne filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

What we work from
Your architect's or designer's specification and the energy calculation for the job. We match the product, thickness and fixing to that spec, keep cavities clean as the walls rise, and fit cavity trays, closers and stop ends where shown so the building control inspection goes smoothly.
